Download voodoo sound from the market. Then Google search for "voodoo best colors" and find the xda thread about it. Enter the settings there and be amazed
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] r_tarandus:
I might seem dull, but I still don't understand where I'm supposed to put those settings in. In the thread, it says "Voodoo App," but I could only find Voodoo Sound in the play store.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Snuffalofagus:
The mentioned "Voodoo app" is Voodoo Sound on the market. In the app itself it lists color options (Gamma, etc.) Apply the settings there.

I flashed the new kernel but when I look at the info under about phone it says 3.0.24 but #17 instead of #18? It is the cfs version. Did I do something wrong? Should I just reflashed?

Thanks, man!

Ahh, those settings are really over-saturated for me. But it was definitely a good start. Thanks!

That's just a build output number, it's not significant. I'm running 18 CFS and mine shows #15 there.

Don't use that test zip lol Jason.... the #17 has YouTube working
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Remember there are 4 different builds of version 18. They can't all be #18. You have v18 cfs, v18 bfs, v18 cfs cm9 and v18 bfs cm9.

You are fine.

I almost gave up on 18. I flashed it but started getting reboots. Restored then did it again and again got two reboots. After that my phone seemed much faster and not a single reboot. Loving it now. Best my phone has been since I bought it. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better.

Thanks again kid!

Yeah i am not finding this very stable. I keep getting reboots like 2 mins after my phone boots up raised voltages and everything. One thing i woul like to state is that this kernel says 3.0.13 and the stock ics kernel is 3.0.8 that might be an issue i am not sure.

Sent from an oICS'd Nexus S 4G v36 cuz Google dissed us
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Xaelius:
cfs = completely fair scheduler (kernel tries to allocate CPU fairly across all running processes)

bfs = brain ****ed scheduler (kernel gives priority to processes in the foreground and closest to the foreground resulting high performance in the currently running application but often introduces lag and stutter when switching between apps.)

I most often use cfs kernel build as I myself usually see better overall performance across the board between apps for daily usage,

To each his own, some prefer boosting what they are using in the foreground to the highest and suffering some lag when switching, some prefer identical performance across the board, really down to what you use your device for primarily. Hope this helps.

What rom are you running?. Do you have deep idle enabled and what are your settings.

If you are on NexusMV v3.09 or earlier, the skipping while playing music is a known issue with the rom. I haven't had it happen on v 3.15 yet but it may still be there.

I was reading the Euroskank thread and everyone was saying how great Trinity is. Piqued my curiosity so I installed it, tried it, yadda yadda yadda... and I'm back on Matr1x :D

Keep up the good work mathkid!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
I've been experiencing something weird when I flash to this kernel with Codename 1.5.5; it seems that a good chunk of my internal storage is disappearing.

Before flashing (using matr1x v16 I believe), I had about 600mb of space used. After flashing, I get a "low space warning", and suddenly I'm using around 900mb.

I've been wiping Cache and Dalvik (before and after rebooting) but it doesn't seem to help any. It looks like the apps are taking up a lot more space than they should for some reason.

Edit: downgraded to v16.5, and now I'm only using around 700MB again. Interesting. In both cases, the app cache is nearly empty.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
maybe its the swap file, its in in /data and its like 195 mb
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Did you see this in the codename thread.....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
I did thanks, but I didn't have that issue; I just had one apk per app. The issue seems to come up whether I restore apps via the Market, Titanium, or via restoring the data partition in CM. I'm also wondering if it's related to the swap file somehow, like perhaps I'm picking up an extra one along the way or something.

As an aside, I am immensely grateful for how easy it is to backup and restore one's phone on Android. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
it's got to be something you guys are doing because I am running the same rom and kernel and don't have that issue.

Is this happening with the matr1x kernel built into the rom or are you flashing a different version of matr1x after loading the rom?

____________________

Just Flash It !!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TransWarp:
I think the 200mb swap in /data is new in Matrx 18.0 according to the changelog. If you're still running 16.5, check to see if there's /data/swap. Maybe that's what accounting for your space loss?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
So, can we safely move that to see if that's it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
You can pretty much do what you want as long as you have a backup. But I'm pretty sure killing it will kill the zram function.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
i think it will only affect the swap feature. zram should be ok
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
what does the swap feature actually do?

____________________

Just Flash It !!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
So i moved the swap file and the 55swap script to the SD card and enabled zram just to test if zram stays enabled after reboot. It does... and the swap script doesn't run so you keep your 200 megabytes of storage. Here is the before and after.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
im not really that familiar with the intricacies of it but heres a start.

compcache is basically the same as zRAM

All of my issues with music skipping and lagging started with NexusMV which has the supercharger built in. Reloaded cm9 nightly's and the problem went away. Then I decided to put the supercharger script on it. What do you know, the issue came back. Pretty sure this is an issue with the supercharger script and not the kernel or rom itself.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
If this happened when you upgraded the ROM I would expect it to be a ROM issue. Try matr1x v18 with cna 1.4 and see if the issue remains.

Also which version of matr1x 18 are you using?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
which rom are (were) you running? ive run 18 cfs cm9 and (no cm9) on the euroskank kang, CNA 1.5.5 and NexusMV and ive only noticed slight stutters here and there. matr1x 18 creates a swap file that takes 200 mb of internal storage, are you running low on space? for what its worth here are some of the things i do before determining that a kernel doesnt work on my phone.The first options preserve your data but if your data is causing a problem then you would have to wipe it to identify it. Get titanium backup, go into settings/more and create update zip. ( you may need zip signer from the market) and make an edify type update.zip and select sign with zipsigner option:

First make a nandroid backup:

1. run morfic's dalvik wiper and re-flash the kernel (only the kernel) in question right on top of your current config. (you can run/install the wiper from recovery before flashing anything kernel related)

or

2. Wipe cache and run the dalvik wiper and flash the ROM and the kernel (one right after the other without leaving recovery) right on top of your current config.

or

3. Wipe cache run the dalvik wiper, format system, then flash the rom and kernel (one right after the other without leaving recovery) on top of your config

Then if that doesnt work, these options will wipe your data, but may help you discover where the problem lies.

1. format system and data, wipe dalvik and cache, really wipe as much as you want, just not the sdcard :) the point is, dont cut corners to preserve your data or settings. Now flash the rom, matr1x kernel and gapps (if necessary) one right after the other without leaving recovery and then boot up. Dont sign in to your account yet so google doesnt restore anything. just get going normally see if things are working without any data being restored. Now boot back into recovery and flash your titanium backup update.zip and reboot. now you can restore and test just the apps that wre giving you problems in case they werent included in the rom/gapps packages.

or

2. try a dirty flash. First restore your backup that was giving you problems, boot into recovery and only run the dalvik wiper. Then flash the rom and kernel while in recovery right on top of everything and reboot.

bfs and cfs 18

coming from 17.5, with both v18 bfs and cfs I notice a bit of UI lag. I've tried every scheduler, every governor and none make a difference. The on screen keyboard takes a second to disappear, the messenger client sometimes freezes up for a second or two, and I've even experienced a few random reboots. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and reinstalling the kernel to no avail.

As a side note, my quadrant scores dropped 100-200 points at identical clock speed, governor, and scheduler settings.

I am running crespo4g 4.0.4 rom; IMM26
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
I normally flash the rom and gapps. Load my apps, setup my email and reboot to recovery. I do a backup and then flash the kernel. If I have an issue with the kernel, recover the backup and try again. If everything is good i make another backup with the new kernel and delete the first backup.

But yes, it's more of a personal preference.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
I'm not seeing any of the issues you are but then again we are not running the same rom or kernel. I can say that a dip of 100-200 is nothing. As I don't get repeatability a whole lot better than that even using the same settings back to back with any kernel.
